ISRAEL INVADES LEBANON

It comes as Israel launched its ground offensive Operation “Northern Arrows” targeting Hezbollah strongholds following waves of devastating airstrikes.

Heavy fighting continued to rage in southern Lebanon today as 25,000 Israeli troops stepped up their ground war to smash Hezbollah rocket sites.

Israeli commanders said the invasion would be “limited, localised and targeted” and would not involve an occupation.

But clashes intensified through the night with Hezbollah launching rocket and artillery barrages toward Israeli troops massing on the border.

Terror troops responded to the onslaught by launching early hours rocket and artillery barrages against the border town of Metula inside Israel.

Hezbollah also said it targeted Mossad’s headquarters in Glilot near Tel Aviv.

It said it “launched salvoes of Fadi 4 rockets at the Glilot base of the military intelligence’s unit 8200 and the Mossad headquarters located on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.”

Defending Israel’s position, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for continued operations to “crush the terrorist organization” to allow residents who have fled Northern Israel to return home safely.

He said: “The decisions we made in the last few days are important, correct and necessary.

“At the same time, this is the time not to stop, [we must] continue doing everything, with all our might.

“I pray for the success of the IDF soldiers who are currently fighting in difficult conditions in southern Lebanon; the people of Israel stand behind them.”

By dawn, loud booms could be heard across the frontier as an Israeli attack helicopter was seen launching rockets toward enemy positions.

Israel’s battle-hardened 98th Division was leading the onslaught after being moved north from fighting Hezbollah allies Hamas in Gaza.

The force – believed to number at least 25,000 – included crack paratroopers, commandos and engineers and were being guided by special forces teams who identified targets.

Hezbollah's decade of destructive preperation

By Juliana Cruz Lima, Foreign News Reporter

Following the 2006 Lebanon War, in which Israel and Hezbollah fought to a bloody standstill, the terror group began preparing for the next conflict.

They constructed a vast underground network across southern Lebanon.

The lessons of that war, in which Hezbollah’s small, mobile units were able to surprise and sometimes overpower Israeli forces, have been embedded in its military doctrine ever since.

The tunnels are now a key part of this strategy, allowing Hezbollah to replicate the tactics of insurgencies around the world: strike fast, disappear, and use the enemy’s size and strength against them.

Some of these tunnels have been found stretching into Israeli territory, designed to facilitate surprise raids deep inside northern Israel.

In 2018, the IDF launched Operation Northern Shield, a months-long mission to detect and destroy Hezbollah’s cross-border tunnels.

The discovery of these tunnels — some reinforced with concrete and running dozens of meters underground — revealed just how advanced Hezbollah’s capabilities had become.

Last month, Hezbollah revealed its hidden terror tunnel network from which missiles can be launched in a chilling threat to Israel.

A blood-curdling video released by the Lebanese terrorists revealed giant underground roads with enough room for lorries to transport their deadly weapons.

Posters of leaders and soldiers adorn the tall stone walls as heavily armed men speed through the “missile city” in motorbikes.

Trucks loaded with enormous missiles make their way through the dark roads in a frightening glimpse of the terrorists’ arsenal.

Drone footage then shows the seemingly endless terror maze, which also appears to be home to military tech and computers.

Inside the terror tunnels, Hezbollah fighters can move unseen, store weapons, and launch ambushes, creating a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with the IDF.

They can also move into a much larger network of bunkers, missile silos, and command centres, deeply embedded in civilian areas.

These tunnels – which can stretch for miles – link critical positions, allowing Hezbollah fighters to emerge, strike, and then vanish back underground before Israel can respond.

Reports also suggest that Hezbollah has been expanding its tunnel network in southern Lebanon in recent weeks.
